 Anita Briem
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime Now more than ever before, Hollywood has truly become a global entity. For any foreign actor, a Hollywood movie has the potential to take their career to a whole new level, regardless of what country they’re from. One of the most unique overseas talents to have emerged in recent years is actress Anita Briem. She hails from the country of Iceland and has emerged in the U.S. in the role of Jane Seymour on Showtime’s The Tudors. Now Briem hopes to break into feature film with a role as Icelandic guide Hannah Ásgeirsson in a new 3D adaptation of Jules Verne’s Journey To The Center Of The Earth. The 26 year-old actress first discussed with us how her fairly low profile as an actress first made it difficult for her to obtain. “I auditioned for this role and I auditioned for this role and I auditioned for this role!

So I was very involved with the development of the script, so by the time we started rehearsing and researching, I was very familiar with Hannah and what I had in store for her and very specific ideas of the kind of woman I wanted to make Hannah.” “That was great fun,” Anita exclaims, “I enjoyed Hannah tremendously. You see a woman that is feisty and strong and practical and then, we find ourselves trapped in a cave in Iceland. As we started to make our way out, we find ourselves closer and closer to the center of the Earth.” “So we are trapped, there are three people involved,” she continues, “On one hand, I have a geeky scientist and on the other hand, I have a small child, so with Hannah, I often find myself in a situation where I have to kick some ass and save the day. So that was really, really fun that you see a woman that sort of drives the action in that way.” Playing a female guide afforded Anita the opportunity to learn some surprisingly unusual tricks, which on its face for this writer seem like something straight out of the cult TV favorite MacGyver. “The action was ... |
